There's quite good art nowadays you just have to look further. But even back in the day most art was shite and not very innovative. It takes decades before the public actually starts recognizing artists at all or even longer. Art is and will always be something for the upper class, it only disseminates and spreads out to all areas of culture when it becomes public in museums. Not sure what's hard to understand, we as a culture do love le banana shit but you must understand at Art basel there's a lot of good art being shown.

Here are artists I like who are contemporary and all currently showing in galleries around the world.

Andy Dixon
Lenz Geerk
Igor Moritz
Kate Barbie
Guglielmo Castelli
Peter Doig

I am an artist as well so I felt very hopeless at the beginning of my career as theres so much shite I didn't even think good artists had a chance at first but you realize they're out there the more in the know you are. Trust me in the 19th and 18th century there was plenty of "soulless" garbage, they just had greater technical proficiency because they were required to undergo extensive training and education as well as be in a guild of some kind or risk being an outcast.

I've seen a lot of great paintings made in the last 10 years.
